What Happens if You Don’t Rotate Your Tires?
Depending on your transmission and whether your tires are a consistent size across your vehicle, the tires on one side may bear more weight than the others. Without tire rotation to distribute the burden, you’ll end up with uneven tire or tread wear, meaning some of your tires will bald and wear out faster than the others. This is expensive as well as frustrating, as you’ll have to shell out for an entirely new set even if only one or two tires have suffered damage, and in some cases even void your warranty for failing to follow the recommended service schedule.
Not only that, but what might begin as a decrease in performance (and a subsequent increase in fuel consumption to overcompensate!) might put you in a tight spot if it leads to a gradual flat or a sudden blowout. It’s best not to risk it–get in touch with one of our Yorkton or Swan River locations and let us take care of it!
How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires?
For best results and to ensure you get the most out of your tires, we advise you get them rotated every 5,000 miles (approximately 8,047 km) or so by a certified professional. Though there are guides out there telling you how to do it at home, a lot can go wrong if you try to DIY it–for example, you may void your warranty, or mistakenly follow the wrong pattern, leading to a far more expensive fix in the future. Instead, why not skip the headache and visit your closest Key Auto Group location? Tire rotations are second nature to our factory-trained experts!
